Crystal Harris is showing support for fellow former playmate Kendra Wilkinson after saying she's received comments about "aging poorly."

On Monday, March 9, Wilkinson, 40, shared a vulnerable and heartfelt message in honor of International Women's Day, which is celebrated on March 8. Along with a selfie, the former model revealed that she's been criticized for her appearance as she enters a new decade.

"I used to use a light filter on myself but now I’m just embracing myself as it is," she wrote in the caption. "I’ve seen many people comment saying I’ve aged 'poorly' and that is ok. I’m ok with aging 'poorly.' For some reason I’m happier than I’ve ever been lately even with a little weight gain and wrinkles and I’m not going to tie my happiness again into the negative energy."

Wilkinson continued, "I am a balanced, single, positive, fun woman who loves life and i hope that i can manage this feeling forever now after working hard to get here to this place. I was verrrry young when i started tv and lived a crazy chaotic 20 years of impressing others but now it’s about ME. Giving back to ME. Even with less money and Way less fame. 😂"

She concluded that being a mom to her two kids — whom she shares with ex-husband Hank Baskett, — "has been my ultimate happiness over anything else."

The empowering post prompted a slew of supportive comments, including one from Harris which read, "Cheers to those who grow and move on to the life waiting for us. ❤️"

Harris, 39, and Wilkinson both rose to fame as girlfriends of the late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and stars of the reality series The Girls Next Door. Harris went on to marry Hefner in 2012 and the couple remained together until his death in 2017 at age 91.

In June 2025, Harris officially petitioned to change her name from Crystal Margaret Hefner back to her maiden name, Crystal Margaret Harris.

The filing, submitted in the Los Angeles Superior Court and reviewed by PEOPLE, lists “Crystal Margaret Harris” as the name she intends to resume, signaling a personal and symbolic return to the identity she held before marrying Hefner.

Wilkinson has previously opened up about her body image. In April 2025, she revealed that she tried weight-loss injections but only lasted one week before changing her mind.

"I started the weight-loss shots," she wrote on Instagram Stories. "Only did one. Nevermind. Throwing away!!"

Although Wilkinson didn’t share which GLP-1 drug she tried, popular options are Ozempic and Wegovy. The two FDA-approved prescription medications are brand names for semaglutide, which work in the brain to impact satiety.

The medications — taken by injection in the thigh, stomach or arm — have been trending as a weight-loss aid in and out of Hollywood.

One day after her post, she returned to social media to explain her decision to quit the medication.

“A lot of you ask why I threw away the shots,” Wilkinson wrote. “I’m actually ok with a little weight gain. Happier in life nowadays. Heard too many horror stories around me. People end up in ER. Surgeries. No thanks.”
